this lotus need to bloom again
BJP will bounce back…it has to bounce back ! Internal bickrings and
churnings are vital….
Self-confindence is the first requisite to great undertakings
In BJP it appears that everybody is fighting everybody else. There’s
churning all around….questions are being raised with counter-questions
arising. Debate is on – what ideology to follow, what stregy to be
adapted, reasons for the defeat ! and hopefully, answers are coming
out. Seelf-confidence among the leaders and cadres would help in
reviving the Party.
Lets talk of defeat. Is in Democracy these results indicate that BJP
is defeated? My take is NO. BJP is still the second largest Party in
terms of seats, it got 36% of vote share. The ‘wisdom’ voting by the
electorate saw it getting less seats and Congress gaining but this is
the GOD – the Game of Democracy – one will win and other will not win.
At least BJP should pride that wit Congress it has managed to stop the
selfish regional politicians stalling Nation’ s development with their
whims and fancies.
As I put it. The churnings in BJP is vital. It fought elections on LK
Advani. LKA fought bravely but could not get equired numbers That’s
it. Why blame game. Blame game is necessary as long as it is
constructive. Serious views of senior party leaders like Aroon
Shourie, Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh need to be heard. BJP also
have its Youthful face – Arun Jaitly, Varun Gandhi, Swapan Da Gupta.
It has good analysts in Chandan Mitra and Sudheendra Kulkarni. It
appears that with this churning somebody has to accept the venom and
that should be Rajnath Singh, being the leader of a National party, he
focussed on his constituency alone to win at any cost. He should take
the moral blame.
BJP is vital for India. For voters who have given it 116 Lok Sabha
seats. The clock has again begun to tick…
